Wow! This June marks six years since me and my family moved to Phoenix. How time flies! I’m twelve, and this is the longest I’ve ever lived in one place. You would think I have seen it all but nope! Surprise – a new discovery! We got up early to beat the traffic and […]
Memorial Day at Lynx Lake, Prescott AZ
The last several years, Dad has gone out over landing for the Memorial Day weekend, leaving me and my mom behind. Don’t cry for me Argentina because I get to go to Lynx Lake with mom as our tradition! This year, we headed up on Sunday, hoping everyone was where they wanted to be but […]
Mingus Mountain for Mother’s Day
Did you know that every day is “love your pet” day at my house? Me and my brother Edmond are healthy, happy and downright spoiled! Our mom takes very good care of us, and one time a year, we get to tell her thanks. Whoever created the holiday Mother’s Day knew all moms work hard […]
Kuma Visits Lynx Creek Ruins in Prescott
I’m usually bummed when Monday comes along because it means Daddy goes back to work, but he was home. As mom made sandwiches and packed up our hiking gear, I knew an adventure was coming. Oh boy! Where would we go this time? Mom said some place new as we needed material for my blog. […]
Kuma hikes Willow Creek Lake in Prescott
We are starting the new year off with a bang! First, we did a 5.5-mile loop in Sedona, and this past weekend we went 6.5 miles. Wholly smokes. Let me back up. I knew we were going north on an adventure when we woke up on a Saturday when it was still dark. That’s the […]

Kuma hikes a new trail: Groom Creek in Prescott
I don’t think my mom understands what Labor Day means. While lots of folks were resting and relaxing, she picked out a long hike in Prescott for us to do. She heard good things about the Groom Creek Trail, so off went. Originally, we were going to stay up in Prescott and camp, but our […]
Kuma enjoys Granite Basin Lake
Can it get any hotter? Mom says it was 130 degrees at Death Valley the other day. Well, duh! Death by heat! No thanks. We’ve been struggling to find places that are cooler this summer, and we decided to give Prescott a try this past weekend. We got up when it was still dark – […]
Kuma’s birthday celebration – Plan A
As you know, I just turned 11 years old. Personally, I don’t feel any different! Anyway, our plans were changed due to the weather, but we did get to Plan A: Lynx Lake. Does my mom know me or what? Lynx Lake is one of my all-time favorites! It is an easy drive up the […]
Watson Lake gets a high score with Kuma
Living in the Houston area for three years, I am not new to heat. My buddies in the area say the humidity has been pretty brutal this summer. I don’t miss getting all drippy one bit, but I will say that desert heat hurts! I learned the hard way. Let me back up and start […]
